ColourPop Noodle Pressed Powder Blush Review, Photos, Swatches
Noodle
ColourPop Noodle Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink with cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that did not build up much beyond that, even with three or more layers. The powder had a very powdery consistency, though it seemed finely-milled to the touch, and this resulted in the product sheering out whenever I tried to blend it on the skin. It just barely showed up on me with three layers (which is what is shown in the face photo!). The color blended out without too much work and lasted for six hours on me.

Formula Overview
$12.00/0.28 oz. - $42.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

What a bummer! I was thinking of buying this since my dog’s name is Noodle, but it looks like a pass now.
Oh, Colourpop. What happened to you? >.<
the shade of this blush is perfect, it is such a shame that it doesnt last long on the face x
Out of all of Colourpop’s pressed powder products, the blushes are clearly the failure. It’s odd that they’re so off from the quality of most of the pressed shadows/bronzers/highlighters.
I wonder if Colour Pop is rushing out some of these dud products without fully testing them.
Damn…
The bad formula on these is killing me, because I love the colors. 🙁
